Nacrene City
Heal up your Pokemon really quick, then head to the Gym on the northern side of town. You'll see Alder, Bianca, Prof. Juniper and her dad all standing outside of it. This isn't good... Lenora then pops out and asks about the Dragon Pokemon in the Desert Resort.
More dialogue happens, then Alder asks you something about N. Just go ahead and say yes, and then, after even more dialogue, Lenora bestows to you the Light Stone if you're playing Pokemon Black, or the Dark Stone if you're playing Pokemon White!
That Stone can be used to sway the Dragon Pokemon's power. Or something. Alder then tells you to go to Opelucid City to take on the Gym Leader there, who uses Dragon-type Pokemon. He then flies off. Prof. Juniper tells you about the Gym Leader in Opelucid City, then heads off.
Bianca tells you the best way to get to Opelucid City is by crossing the Tubeline Bridge. So what are you waiting for, Trainer? Head back to Icirrus City and then head east! You'll have to go under a bridge to get to Route 8, by the way.

Slip and slide in the winter time!
When it's winter in Unova, all of the ponds turn into slippery sheets of ice. You should know what that means. Yup, it means you'll be forced forward until you land on something that isn't ice or until you hit an obstacle. This can make navigating a lot more difficult than in any of the other seasons, so be mindful of that.
Hug the northwestern corner of the route and fight the Pokemon Ranger up there. He has aCubchoo L34, a Palpitoad L34, and a Maractus L34. He'll reward you with a Pecha Berry after beating him. Just to his north is a Poison Barb, a held item that raises the power of the wearer's Poison-type attacks by 20%. Speaking of Poison-type attacks, just to the northeast of him is TM36 (Sludge Bomb), a Special-based Poison-type attack that hits pretty hard and has a chance of inflicting Poison. Not too shabby!
Now head eastbound, fighting the Parasol Lady and her team of Frillish L34 and Ducklett L34. Just to the east of her is a Full Heal, which you should pick up after the battle.
If you're looking to get to the bridge as soon as possible, head south and you'll get there after some Trainers, but if you're up for some exploring, I recommend taking the northern path first.
There's a Pokemon Ranger with a Cinccino L36 blocking your path to the optional Moor of Icirrus. She, too, will give you a Pecha Berry after beating her. There's a Full Restore hiding just to the northwest of her, which you can find with your Item Finder. Before entering the Moor of Icirrus, grab the Ultra Ball right nearby.

The Moor of Icirrus is a pretty big place. Let's start by heading east and we'll get through it by going around the perimeter.
Along the bottom on your way east is a Fisherman near a pool of water. He has a Basculin L34 and a Stunfisk L34. Head just a little northeast from him to pick up a Max Revive amongst some trees,then continue heading eastbound until you find a Pokemon Ranger. She uses an EmolgaL34, a Maractus L34, and a Alomomola L34. She'll give you a valuable Sitrus Berry after beating her.
Circle around the rest of this eastern area and you'll eventually be led back to the start, which is ok, because we're now gonna explore more of this place. Head north into a field and then keep going north, heading due east towards the Pokemon Ranger when given the opportunity. Go right on up to him and battle him. He's got a Vanillish L35 and an Fraxure L35 in his roster. He'll reward you with another Sitrus Berry after beating him. Head on to the northeast and then pick up the Max Elixir before heading back to where the Ranger was.
From the Pokemon Ranger you just battled, head west, then north, and then back east to get to that item you saw earlier. It's a Max Potion, which it never hurts to have.
That's all there is over on the northern side, so go back to the field you were in earlier (due south) and then head west. You need Strength in order to push the boulder aside, so if you've got it, use it and shove it into the hole there to cross.
On the western side of that little lake is an Ultra Ball. The southern extension leads you to a Carbos, as well as a Parasol Lady packing two Frillish L34 (one of each gender). There's also a Max Elixir hiding right nearby if you use your Item Finder.
That's all there is in here for now, other than perhaps a stray hidden item of little worth (there's some mushrooms I think, as well as a Nugget hiding somewhere). Worthwhile? Probably not, but it's at least there for you.
Route 8
To the southeast of that Parasol Lady from earlier in the route lies the path you need to take to get to the Tubeline Bridge. There are just a few more Trainers available for you to fight on the route beforehand, though!
The Parasol Lady may look like she wants to fight you at first glance, but you definitely want to talk to her, because she'll give you the fairly useful TM42 (Facade), a decent Physical-based Normal-type attack that doubles in power if the user is affected by a major status condition like Burned or Poisoned. This is particularly fitting on any Pokemon with Guts, too, which gives it its own boost. Otherwise, it's probably not worth your while, unless you're lacking a better move and the Pokemon can't learn Strength or Retaliate.
The nearby Fisherman will battle you if you talk to him. He uses two Basculin L34 (both versions of it). The Parasol Lady close by will also battle you, and she has a Alomomola L35 on her team.
Lastly, the Parasol Lady hiding behind the sign will give you either a Damp Rock, Heat Rock,Smooth Rock, or Icy Rock, depending on the time of day it is. You can only get one per day, and I think you can only get one of each, but still you'll want to use this items if you're using any sort of weather condition, because they increase the duration of that weather condition from 5 turns to 8 turns, so that's good news!
Alright, now that you're through all of that, go ahead and head towards the bridge. As soon as you approach the entrance, Bianca will stop you, itching for a battle!

After beating her, she gives you a Full Restore. Um, ok, thanks? She'll then head off from whence she came afterwards, leaving you free to explore the bridge.
